Bahram was born in 339, the son of Shapur III. He served as Governor of Kerman in the Sassanid Empire, and when he became Shahanshah in 388, he was nicknamed "Kermanshah"; he built the city of Kermanshah. After his father was murdered, he became the new Emperor in 388, and he was a harsh and weak man who allowed for the nobles to gain more control over society. In 395, the Huns ravaged Asuristan, and Bahram sent out an army to slay many of them, but his soldiers finally had enough of his rule. In 399, Bahram was surrounded by his own men and shot with arrows.
